BIG 5 may soon become BIG 4...

I once again
shed light on the problem of rhino poaching in Africa that threatens the
continued existence of these beautiful beasts.

With today
being World Rhino Day, it helps us reflect on what we are turning a blind eye
to. If there is a fuel hike…we petition and threaten to burn down the fuel
plants…If McD’s delivers a shoddy product, we boycott them…and so on.

But as we sit in our comfy recliners, drinking a glass of red
or white… why should we care, right?

Wrong…

The decline of the rhino will reduce grazing land, which
will also lead to the decline of the gazelle, antelope and zebra. And if these
animals die out, so will lions and leopards. Can you picture a world where your
children, or grandchildren, never get to see any of these animals . . . either in
a zoo or on the Nature Channel? Not
only will this change the savannah, but it will ultimately reduce tourism and
lead to fewer jobs in a country already battling with unemployment.The stats are everywhere if we
actually take the time to read them.

Never before
have I been more excited to release a book, and never before have I been proud
to stand up and make a noise in the hope that someone actually listens. My African Dream is due for release this Thursday, and I am seriously
looking forward to stand by my pledge of donating 50% of all author proceeds to
rhino conservation.
